[Nexus 7 General] cpolly69:
ok why does it see the entire partition on my gs3 then? using the same software (same version anyway)

i checked i'm on 6.0.2.3

i just want to clean up the internal sd card and keep it clean moving forward with new roms or w/e

if i go into recovery and choose /mount and storage/ format sd card - will i still be able to boot on my current rom or does it need something that's there -

i know on my gs3 i can basically erase anything on the internal sd and it doesn't affect the rom or boot process - just missing info for apps

btw we are saying that the nexus only shows windows the current user partition - i guess it does the same for apps like file manager as well - because i can't see the 0 folder there either

is there not a setting or app that will allow me to choose what windows or apps can see on the sd card?
[Nexus 7 General] Pirateghost:
with root access you can view ANYTHING under /data/media

with only user access you can only see /data/media/0
[Nexus 7 General] cpolly69:
someone posted up a nice file manger on gogole + i tried out and it sees everything -

not that i can see everything at least on the device i''m just more confused about how the sd partition is formatted

i took a quick pic to see where it goes automatically

i now realize that everything is put there in triplicate -

once under root/sdcard

once under root/storage/emulated/o

and once under root/storage/sdcard0

are these all the same thing some how?

so confused - i guess i'd really just like to know why i only have 2.38 gb of open space on this device
[Nexus 7 General] Pirateghost:
they are called SYMLINKS

your space is probably being eaten up by backups twrp/cwm?

look above the 0 folder for TWRP or Clockworkmod folder

also, ES File explorer from the play store would work just fine for browsing files. it has root access
[Nexus 7 General] BlackFire27:
I think I once heard about the n7 have a protect root files feature sort of like how the psp has protect flash 0 on the newer cfws..
[Nexus 7 General] cpolly69:
i'm kinda back where i started right now

i just took a few screen shots to compare some stuff

the 3 folders that match each other i can see with a file manger are what's under 0 when i look with clockworkmod

but the /sdcard dir by itself is still info i can' t see with a file manager or windows -

you are right about the backups - i know a backup is 2 big folders from experience w/ my gs3 and i have 2 of them - they are eating the memory - i can't kill them in cwm and i can't see them any other way

ugh

it feels like my only option is to format the sd card -

i'm back to the same ? as earlier -

if i choose format the sd card from cwm will i still be able to boot into my current rom?
[Nexus 7 General] Pirateghost:
ES File Explorer

give it root rights

browse to /data/media/clockworkmod

delete what you want

OR

i think rom manager has an update that lets you manage your backups....

you WILL NOT see them from windows.
[Nexus 7 General] cpolly69:
that app can see less then file wrangler that i've already been using - and file wrangler lets you pull up 2 columns to drag and drop

backups are not in the folder you specified - still can't see what cwm can with a file manager app - all of these apps i've been using have root permission - that's how i was able to see the paths that started with /.root that i mentioned earlier

rom manger did have what you mentioned - i killed one of the 2 backups and got a bit more space -

i also used file wrangler to kill some of the roms i have been trying that were still on there

what's a normal amount of free space to see on a 16gb device? i have 1 1gb movie and almost no pics right now i have about 5.17gb free

i wish someone knew the answer to my ? about formatting the internal card and still being able to boot my current rom....
[Nexus 7 General] Pirateghost:
your rom has nothing to do with whats on the internal storage, it does not require anything from it. if you dont want to keep anything thats on there, then format it within android...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ketrg:
Anyone else having problems with sending and receiving calls on their S3 in areas where they should be having no problems?

I got my phone at launch and it seemed to work fine, I noticed the connection issues after a couple of weeks and figured they would be fixed with software updates as time progressed.

But it's been over 6 months and I'm really growing tired of having to resend texts 5 times and never receiving calls. My phone shows I have 2 bars of 4G yet when my family calls me from the front door of our house (which is 12 feet away from my room) I get nothing. The only reason I know this is because I have the google voice chrome plugin that tells me when I have messages or missed calls to my google voice number, but since I have my voicemail synced up with gv it tells me when I have missed calls regardless of it being to my actual cell number or my gv number. If it wasn't for that I would never know that I missed calls all the time. And I only know I miss texts because my girlfriend gets pissed at me all the time because she thinks I'm ignoring her when I don't reply to texts I'm suppose to receive but never do.

So I've been living with this annoying problem for a while now and I thought maybe it was just my room that had bad reception but I remembered that my previous phone (HTC Droid Incredible) never had this problem. So I tried out my parent's feature phones (LG env 2 and 3) and they didn't have any problems while I replicated the same situations. Their old inferior phones worked better than the nice premium one I paid extra for. Ain't that some bs?

And now I go to a different school that has terrible reception in all the buildings I have classes in. So I always turn on airplane mode and enable power saving to make sure my phone doesn't die by the end of the day. But the other day I asked this random girl sitting by me in the first floor of the student union if her galaxy s3 was getting signal and she said "No, this phone sucks in this building". I asked what service she had and she said Sprint. I didn't know if I should have felt content knowing I wasn't the only one or mad that this phone might have an antenna problem. BUT just yesterday I was in the same student union, in the lower floor this time, and I asked this guy from my class if his data was working on his phone and he said "Yeah I'm downloading a picture right now.", to which I replied back with which service? He said "Verizon", what phone? "Motorola Razer something". At that point I got so frustrated that I felt like throwing my phone.

I mean the phone itself is great, I love using it and taking pictures with it, although lately I've been getting "camera failed" errors a lot. It's just really annoying that it doesn't serve its most basic functions when I need them to work.

So I'm asking if anyone else has been experiencing similar issues and what they did about it? I would have called Verizon sooner but since I'm an added line on our family's plan they only want to talk to my dad. He and I have different schedules so it's always a pain to try and coordinate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
I had similar issues with by i535.

Except the issues appeared the 1st day I got my device, and I was highly po'd to say the least, considering I left sprint the same day because I couldn't complete a call for months. Troubleshot with Verizon tech as is the protocol prior to replacement, and saw the device was faulty. Not communicating with the Towers. Device issue possibly regarding the antenna, but uncertain.

Anyway, I got a new replacement a few months ago, and all has been well.

The cause of your issues may be the same, except yours were delayed in appearing. Hard to tell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ketrg:
Yeah, I'm hoping to try and get a replacement soon. I'm just scared I'll get a refurbished one that has the same issues.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mforminio7:
Hey guys Ive been thinking lately of trying the new ota but I have a few questions/concerns.

Im on bugless beast 4.1.2 and couldn't be happier. Never an f/c, no stuttering, perfect stable setup. Will I find the same on a stock-like 4.2.2 rom? I tried some 4.2.1 roms but always walked away disastified (jittery crt animation, buggy, laggy). Any bugs on 4.2.2? Hows the speed over 4.1.2? I dont really care about the new toggles and lockscreen but if the speed is better and is stable id be interested.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
No major changes. Believe me. Just update to be up to date. No other visible reasons.

All new versions run slower than previous. Custom kernels - we all know are just a placebo. Except kernel configuration possibility (for instance to slow down the phone to save the battery (which I doubt makes any sense) or turn on the fast charge).

So your phone won't be faster and your battery won't run longer.

If you want a decent standby and screen time (the default is - 12-16h and 2h screen time MAX!):

1. Disable Wifi

2. Disable Data

3. Switch to 2G

Everything else - waste of time :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mforminio7:
So 4.2.2 is slower than 4.1.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fairct:
I've heard people say that it's smoother on their devices, but... the most reliable way to know would be to backup and flash it yourself. It seems that everyone's device is different, and everyone's choice of running apps is different as well. So only you would likely know if it is faster for you or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
I was on 4.1.2 since December because 4.2.1 was junk.

4.2.2 runs great, they polished the quirks out and I don't feel the need to switch back. Google stock image, stock kernel.

Hi [MENTION=4500270]arpitkh96[/MENTION]

Did you find any workaround for this. Above is another mod for ICS/JB. I tried it for CM 10.1 based ROM for my LG P990. It works and layout is also correct. But the speed flickers a lot and stays mostly on 0K/s even when I'm downloading some stuff. What about the mod that you used in CM 7. Did it used to flicker also there? I compared the smali files from both the threads and they are 99.99% same :p

Btw u can use paid app 'internet speed meter' it a same function to display meter in status bar, i dont hav cc, and didnt find any cracked version of apk so m not using it :p
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] arpitkh96:
I have already tried that mod u suggested and u are right that it flickers. It can be only solved by a java expert and I am not.

in cm7 flicker was not that much.

Maybe it is some time problem i.e

After how much miliseconds it updates the speed(only a guess).it works good for downloads
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vishal007:
I also think so, its time refresh problem, may b dev set it too low
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] owais40:
What about CM 7 files, etc that you used in CM10.1? Did it flicker like 10.1 files or less than that (ignoring the layout problem)?

yeah and I am not expert in java so I can't solve it

Don't remember

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolloser:
You can root and run Safestrap without voiding warranty, as long as you are able to revert to stock if you ever need to send in for repair. Unlocking the bootloader will void the warranty because you have to do it through Motorola.

If I were you, I would do a factory reset because a clean wipe is always a good way to start a new version of Android. The built in battery stats does not really reveal much in what is actaully draining the battery. Check out this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

Read the first three pages fully so you can understand how Better Battery Stats works. If you are still having drain after a wipe, chances are you have battery-hoggin apps. You can do a dump of a log there and people will help you narrow down the cause(s).

[Nexus 7 General] styckx:
For awhile there after Swiftkey 4 was released it was listed as incompatible with the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10. It has since been fixed though..
[Nexus 7 General] cincibluer6:
I can't speak about Swiftkey but the real reason is that some apps are compatible with the latest firmware (4.2.2 as of this post) that the Nexus has while others lag behind.

Thus, those apps support the older firmware (in this case the version on your Galaxy Tab) but haven't been updated to work on the newest firmware.
[Nexus 7 General] jb.traveller:
I had a number of apps that ran on my Samsung Galaxy S3 that were incompatible. I used TB on the S3 to send latest backup to gmail then used TB on the Nexus to import it.

[Nexus 7 General] vmancini3:
I had this issue with a bunch of apps....as of right now, for some apps that I have on my Galaxy S3, if I search for those apps on my Nexus 7 and it says they're incompatible, what I do is.....on my phone I use the app manager built in to ES File Explorer, make a backup of the installed app, upload it to Box, then on my Nexus I open Box, and install said apps right from within the Box app! It's worked every time so far for me! Right now on my Nexus I have Citibank, Capital One, Auto Parts Warehouse, and some others that all claimed were "incompatible", but they're working just fine....no force closes or anything!
[Nexus 7 General] bsoplinger:
You can move from device to device with an app like wifi explorer. That'll save you needing to go through a cloud service. Personally I use Titanium Backup Pro since the backup can be set to include the app's data also.

Great, thanks again. Of course, the 'phone won't boot so I can't connect it to a PC to download the kernel to the micro SD card ... good thing I have an adaptor and an SD slot in my lappie, eh!

CWM will load a ZIP from the memory card, but the kernel isn't a zip - it's an img file. Do I replace the boot.img in the zip for CM10 that I am using, replacing the existing boot.img file in there, and then move that (modified) zip to the memory card?

Oli.
[HTC One V] mr_nooby:
No u need to use fastboot. Remember how you rooted the phone? Same thing. Put the file.img in your fastboot folder on pc, on the phone, hold power for 10 seconds, it will turn off. Then hold vol down and power, after some seconds release power but keep holding vol down. It will get to hboot. Connect to pc with cable and on the phone click fastboot, it should say fastboot usb. On the pc, open cmd, locate your fastboot folder and type fastboot flash boot nameofkernel.img, wait for it to finish and reboot the phone. It will take some minutes but then it will boot normally
[HTC One V] zcacogp:
Thanks, I'm just trying that and it's rebooting as I type. (Hope it's not in another boot loop!)

How long should the 'phone remain at the boot screen when booting CyanogenMod for the first time? It's still there (concentric cyan coloured rings, spinning in opposite directions) and has been there for a good few minutes now. How long before I assume it's in a bootloop and go back to a previous restore point?
